SARTORIAL EXCELLENCE
Bespoke & Co. is a custom tailored clothing company, based in Tampa, Florida. We produce fine custom clothing for men and women and focus on maintaining the highest standards of the custom made tradition. The word bespoke itself is derived from the verb bespeak, meaning to "speak for something," or to “be spoken for.” Bespoke clothing is traditionally cut from a pattern specifically crafted for an individual client, and so differs from ready-to-wear, which is factory made in finished condition of standardized sizes, and from made-to-measure, produced to order from a pre-cut pattern. It is a misconception that bespoke clothing is more expensive than the alternatives. With the technological advancements in manufacturing and the progressions made in the production of materials, today's bespoke pricing closely compares to upper moderate and high end off-the-rack clothing. The major difference resulting in a custom crafted garment specifically tailored for an individual client.
The evolution of bespoke clothing took off around the post-depression 1930’s when Hollywood popularized bespoke fashion with stars like Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant and Clark Gable featuring tailored clothing styles popular from that era. Savile Row bespoke tailoring became world renowned with pioneers like Anderson and Sheppard, Gieves & Hawkes, and master tailor Frederick Scholte who popularized the ‘London Cut’ worn by Prince Edward VIII and the Duke of Kent. Styles continued to evolve in the post-war 1940’s as couture French designers like Christian Dior came on the scene. Today, the various styles made popular by these fashion icons have paved the way to offer the knowledge to create a sophisticated, diverse, custom wardrobe.
As a client of Bespoke & Co, you may select from a variety of fabrics manufactured by the finest textile mills around the world. Bespoke & Co. produces custom made clothing in the latest style and design to complement each of our client’s particular taste and discretion. Choose from the finest suit, sport coat and pant fabrics to the most sophisticated dress shirt and sport shirt materials from world renowned mills such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Vitale Barberis, Ariston, Loro Piana and Holland & Sherry. Experience the luxury of being measured by a custom clothing professional and work together to plan and design a single shirt or a complete custom wardrobe.
At Bespoke & Co. we follow the traditions of the true ‘bespoke’ process, which is essential to the success of a perfect fitting garment. We take our business very seriously to ensure the satisfaction of each individual client. Every measure is taken to fully understand the needs and physical build of each client, which is then translated through artistic and technical design into a true work of art.

There will come a time when every man will need to wear a tuxedo. There will be his son’s black tie wedding, New Year’s Eve, his daughter’s debutante cotillion, a cruise dinner with the Captain or a night at the opera with his beautiful bride. At Bespoke & Co. we always say, “if you don’t have an occasion to wear a tux, create one!” The tuxedo is the consummate men’s attire, the crème de la crème, the pièce de résistance, the most formal of our custom suits. This is an opportunity to take our finest fabrics and trim them with the purest silk and satin details. Choose from among the most elegant styles and subtle nuances.
Bespoke & Co. understands that not everyone is going to conform to 19th century dress codes. A more contemporary ‘formal with a twist’ option tends to suit the faster paced, fashion conscious man. Burn out velvet in paisley and geometric patterns, printed silk, and woven cashmere and silk luxury fabrics have paved the way to a more modern approach to formal wear. We offer a wide variety of extraordinary fabrics for that formal jacket that is meant to be worn with jeans and an open collar shirt. When it comes to the second wedding or the formal occasion that goes beyond the realm of classic, our ‘in’ formal collections offer something for our more youthful clients or for those who are just young at heart.

We won’t name drop, but we have outfitted quite the who’s who in local professional sports, Tampa society and local residents.

Whether it is just the groom, a small wedding or an entire wedding party, we specialize in coordinating all of the details to synchronize chosen styles, colors and designs.
A black bow tie and a simple white pocket square can be all you need to compliment your custom tuxedo. However, Bespoke & Co. offers a wide variety of different accessory collections. We feature handmade bow ties and pocket squares, made in Italy of the finest silks cottons and linens. Our formal ties and cummerbunds are offered in a variety of classic silks and textured jacquards in a wide range of solids, prints and wovens.

Originally, Bespoke & Co. operated out of a small tailor shop in Tampa, FL. In September 2011, we searched for a brick and mortar facility more conducive to our needs and the needs of our clients. We relocated to South Tampa and renovated the space that we currently occupy at 3305 W. Bay to Bay Boulevard. Just a short drive from downtown Tampa, Bay to Bay has become one of the most active thoroughfares in South Tampa. We strived to create a more welcoming, lounge like environment where our clients feel comfortable hanging out, attending events or just stopping by to say hello. Our 1200 sq. ft. space is complete with a full kitchen and bar. We have a large screen television which is usually tuned to ESPN or the Golf Channel and we offer wifi for our tech obsessed clients. While we operate by appointment, clients and friends typically stop by for the chance to run into their favorite local professional athlete or media personality.
